Expert Tips
- Take this easy microwave nachos recipe and make it your own! Try other pre-cooked meat like pork tenderloin, steak, or pot roast in place of the chicken.
- We love melting our classic Old El Paso™ Shredded Mexican 4 Cheese Blend on these tacos, but if you are looking for a spicy twist, try our hot and spicy Old El Paso™Shredded 3 Pepper Cheese instead.
- Go beyond these classic toppings. Instead try sprinkling fried eggs, cooked sausage and salsa for a twist on huevos rancheros.
- We love making easy and delicious food in the microwave! These easy microwave recipes for Taco Salad Dip or El Grande Burritos are not only delicious, but they only take 20 minutes to get on the table!
